We run a similar config (Solaris/x86 Ray server connecting via ssh to Linux systems for apps that don't run on Solaris). We had a 64-bit Linux system with both 8168 and 8169 realtek interfaces, and the 8168 (presumably the driver) gave significantly better performance. However, we run 8169 in a 32-bit Linux kernel without problems. These are inexpensive Gb interfaces connecting directly to the Ray server (X4200) via Gb switch. Our main concern has been apps such as matlab where life can be painfully slow for remote connections. Fortunately, -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false gives considerable help in that case. I'd love to hear more general solutions than apply to firefox and acroread. -- Darrel Hankerson _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
